Ooo ooo
2
Ohh the story's told been told, retold
3
From the secret scriptures to the tabloids
4
All the fuss and fight none above a whisper
5
From the soul of gold to the belly of a boy
6
Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood
7
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
8
And he turned his head, let the arrows fly
9
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
10
And the boy cried wolf
11
Wolf don't come
12
Wolf within
13
Boy cried wolf
14
In the ancient mold where they're dancin' down
15
Calling to the moon but it don't answer
16
And they fell on their knees
17
Passed the bowl around
18
And the blood, the blood, the sacramental blood
19
And the boy cried wolf
20
Wolf don't come
21
Wolf within
22
Boy cried wolf
23
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
24
You're in the body, I am the stream
25
I am the wake of everything
26
They bring me flowers that are myself
27
Garlands of blood that are myself
28
Slain the lamb that is myself
29
A prayin' for the lamb that is himself
30
Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood
31
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
32
And he turned his head, let the arrows fly
33
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
34
And the boy cried wolf
35
Wolf don't come
36
Wolf within
37
Boy cried wolf
38
I don't care, I don't mind
39
I don't know, I don't know
40
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
41
Are nothin' to the wind but whose to mind
42
The kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
43
Lost, received, retrieved the human tide
44
Innocence had its day
45
Innocence had its day
46
Innocence, innocence
